How can I reduce my risk of dental emergencies?

Keep up with daily brushing, cleaning between your teeth, and recommended dental visits. Wear a mouthguard for sports that could injure your mouth, avoid chewing ice or other hard objects, and do not use your teeth to open packaging. Have dental pain or damage assessed promptly.

What Should I Do After a Mouth Injury?

Apply steady pressure with clean gauze for bleeding and use a cold compress for swelling. Seek emergency medical care for uncontrolled bleeding, breathing or swallowing difficulties, severe swelling, loss of consciousness, or a deep wound. Once the injury is stable, we can check for dental damage.

What options do you offer for treating gum disease?

We offer professional cleaning and scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning below the gumline, depending on how advanced your gum disease is. Laser treatment may be used alongside other care when appropriate. We also provide guidance on daily gum care.

Do you offer metal-free fillings?

Yes. We offer tooth-colored composite fillings and ceramic restorations when appropriate. We will examine your tooth and discuss which material suits the size and location of the area being repaired.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

Dental implant suitability depends on your gum health, available jawbone, medical history, and factors that affect healing. We assess these during an examination, using imaging when needed, and discuss whether implants are right for you.

Do you offer Invisalign?

Yes. Princess Center Dentistry offers Invisalign. Schedule a visit at our Scottsdale office to discuss your goals and find out whether Invisalign is an appropriate option for your smile. Treatment recommendations are based on an individual evaluation.

What types of laser dentistry do you offer?

We use dental lasers for selected procedures, including gum disease treatment and gum contouring. Lasers may also be used to release a restrictive band of tissue in the mouth, a procedure called a frenectomy. We will explain whether a laser is appropriate for your treatment.
